Using ILINK version 1.20 or 1.21, after doing a full link using a
bound linker earlier than version 5.10 or a DOS linker earlier than
version 4.10, causes the following message:

   ILINK : warning L4267: invalid .ILK file
   ILINK : performing full link

If you use the ILINK version that came with the linker you are using,
the .ILK file will be recognized correctly. ILINK versions 1.20 and
1.21 are not "backwards compatible" and will not work correctly with
earlier .ILK files.
